Iraola to leave Bournemouth at end of season

Bournemouth have confirmed that head coach Andoni Iraola will depart the club when the current campaign concludes. In a brief statement released by the Cherries, the 46-year-old Spaniard said he believes “it is the right moment for me to step away.”

The announcement brings an abrupt end to Iraola’s tenure on the south coast, with the club opting to make the decision public well before the summer transfer window opens. No further details were provided regarding the reasoning behind the timing or any potential successors.

Iraola’s impending exit marks a significant moment for Bournemouth as they prepare for a transitional close-season, with the search for a new manager now poised to dominate the agenda in the coming weeks.
